Back on Campus with Google CEO Sundar Pichai at IIT Kharagpur … Multi Cam setup worked as a DOP & Line Producer.

Indian Born Google CEO Sundar Pichai Spoke at IIT Kharagpur today as part of the Back on Campus event .. Here’re the best of them:

1) He saw his first computer at the IIT.

2) He carried the luggage for incoming seniors at Kharagpur Railway station, as part of ragging.

3) On learning Hindi, he thought ‘Abey Saale’ was a way to address someone in all environments.

“There is a lot of pressure to follow a set of rules throughout your career (in India). When you are in high school you think of college. I get very surprised that people get into the IITs and immediately they are thinking about IIMs and so on. It is so important to get real world experience,” Pichai said at an interactive session with IITians here today.

Did I bunk? Yes, it’s the right of passage when in college, but I worked hard as well.

IIT Kharagpur mess workers proud moments with Sundar Pichai, CEO Google, visited his old hostel Nehru Hall in IIT Kharagpur on Jan 5 2017, went to his old room, mess, common room, library, catwalk and refreshed his memories.

Sundar Pichai inspired lot of Indians and its our proud moment that he visited India and give tips to students.

Below are some views of people after attending Sundar Pichai’s advice for students.

Most parents aspire to see their children aim high in education and that is a great trait we have. Focus on education is a big strength. I want to see the young people focus on creativity and take more risks.

As a leader it is important to not just see your own success. But focus on the success of others. There are so many people who work so hard and try new things everyday. As a leader we should guide them to succeed. Focusing on the team is one of the most important jobs for a leader.

Even if I send an email to make IIT-Kharagpur as the doodle for the day, they wont do it. We have very strong ethics and principles of the organisation that are followed and we are very particular about what all is approved as doodles.

at times, even smart guys ‘get it WRONG’ !!!!

Sundar Pichai, the CEO of Google takes his job seriously. Well, except for that one time he thought Gmail was a hoax.

When Pichai interviewed for his position on April Fools’ Day in 2004, it was just after Google introduced the email service, according to Mashable. Although interviewers asked him questions about Gmail, he, like many others at the time, thought the service was one big prank for the company.

“I hadn’t had a chance to use it (access to Gmail was invite-only at the time), I thought it was an April fool’s joke,” he told the 3,500 students attending a talk at his alma mater, the Indian Institute of Technology-Kharagpur (IIT-K), Mashable reports.

However, after seeing the confused looks on his interviewers’ faces, he realized he may have been wrong.

We’ve always had an ambitious approach at Google. We want to work on things billions of people will use everyday. You might fail a few times. But that’s ok. Larry (Larry Page, Alphabet CEO) used to say you must aim to do great things. Even if you fail, you end up doing something worthwhile which you learn a great deal from.

Its beautiful….. It is so true that great leaders of the now generation are humble…

Nothing like education and higher education and excelling in it…

Sundar Pichai visited IIT Kharagpur after 23 years…..

Grounded …..human being…..well connected to his roots and respects his nation and its people….

Unlike many of our Indo-American citizens who undertake good education from our nation….migrate to a foreign country and then use social media to deride and pooh pooh The nation that gave them all….

And then we have intelligent ,grounded and highly educated CEO’s like Sundar Pichai who heads a global mammoth called Google who is at the forefront of tech innovations and AI(artificial intelligence) developing it for mankind…

Also notice his dressing etiquette’s/quotient….simple and sober……very impressed…..

As parents of growing children we should find time to explain to them the importance of education,the culture and values of the country that they live in…the importance of being humble…..the importance of caring for others….the importance of respecting other religions ….the importance of being INDIAN….

He first saw computer when he joined IIT Kgp. Today he is the CEO of the company which drives smartphone and AI strategy.The story of a shy boy to be the Chief Executive of the company that is the pioneer of global digitalisation is amazing indeed.

Those who denounce education and say it is not required – remember he is a scholar of high calibre – IIT-Stanford-Wharton; the best one can have in his/her portfolio.

Sundar Pitchai is the name I think doesn’t need any Google search ……

He continues to be humble and grounded;hasn’t forgotten his roots; he stills refers India’s digital growth as “Our Growth” ; something to ponder for all those Indo Americans who try to shed their roots and use social media to abuse India ….

Humility is the biggest asset of a human being however big one is and in that respect the name Sundar aptly suits him …
